Heaven’s Gate consists of historic footage as well as interviews with participants-or those related to them who are able to paint a picture of the cult in its early days, and how things changed as the organization grew bigger.
Similar to Netflix’s smash hit Wild Wild Country, this miniseries shines a light on the eccentric leaders who cultivated a following and spread their illogical beliefs. But with the tragic end for many of the cult members, Heaven’s Gate offers an attempt at a real understanding of how the members were attracted to the group and why they were searching for salvation in such dim corners. Stars: Ansel Elgort, Ken Watanabe, Rachel Keller, Hideaki Ito, Sho Kasamatsu, Ella Rumpf, Rinko Kikuchi, Tomohisa Yamashita For anyone who is interested in or fascinated by the humanistic drive to join a group like this, Heaven’s Gate seeks to find those answers. Tokyo Vice is a story that honors both halves of its title: This is an ode to Tokyo, from the brightest, glitziest karaoke bars to the dimly lit back alleys, and a fascination with the city that feels like love comes through each episode.
